Well, not all of them, anyway. Some "ancient" people thought that a child raping warlord went into a cave and communed with a god who told him...to tell them...what to do.
Then and forever more, no less.
OFC, this is just a silly story about people being silly. It's probably not any more true than it's own contents. It's pretty clear that big mo's right hand men saw the political value of the belief system. Immediately schismatic.... as they declared their own rightful successions to a very earthly throne on the back of competing claims over divine warrant. They continue to kill each other for two long dead princes to this very day.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom.

I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
